I have to say, Google does a great job with their ‘Doodles’. I logged onto my computer this morning with a warm mug of Zen Starbucks tea (new obsession) and was greeted by my Google homepage. Oh Google-how I love thee! Without Google, I wouldn’t be able to trick as many people into believing I’m a genius. (Go ahead, ask me anything!). Anyways, today’s Google Doodle honors Moby Dick, the famous novel by American writer Herman Melville. I remember being assigned this novel in grade 8 for a book report. I took the book home and read 10 pages. And those 10 pages were all it took for me to realize that: a) I didn’t understand anything I had just read and b) it was sunny outside. I quickly did what any self-respecting 8th grader would do- I tossed the book into my knapsack and googled the answers to the assigned questions. A+.

Full circle Google, full circle.

While we are on the ‘Whale’ topic, Chris and I went whale watching in Tafino, British Columbia last May. We saw some pretty cool stuff. I would highly recommend visiting Tafino if you ever have the opportunity to do so! It’s north of Nanimo on Vancouver Island. Chris and I had some of our best adventures on our B.C backpacking trip!

(He developed and rigged all the explosions, gags, ‘experiments’ and stunts you’re about to see). More to come on this show- Chris has […]

We had an amazing trip to Cozumel. We had so many fun adventures and made lasting memories with family. It was wonderful to spend time together while relaxing and not worrying about work/responsibilities that wait for us at home. On Tuesday we went into town to do a bit of shopping. I bought a beautiful […]

So on the second day’s evening, Chris was terribly ill…with pneumonia. He was in bed for 36 hours basically comatose. Thankfully we traveled with his family (… his dad is a Vet, his mom is an ER Nurse, his aunt also a nurse, his brother an Xray tech and his sister in law an Ultrasound […]

DAY ONE: We arrived yesterday in Cozumel after a long-feeling four hour flight direct from Toronto. Flying at 35,000 ft, we amused ourselves by making puppets out of barf bags, completing three cross words and playing the age-old beauty ’21 Questions’. The condo we are staying in is stunning and very spacious. Eight Canucks in […]
